About Houw Hoek Hotel
The child-friendly Houw Hoek Hotel is situated in the heart of the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, a leisurely 80 km from Cape Town, just off the N2 freeway. We are peacefully positioned in an exquisite location, between majestic mountains and beautiful ponds, making this the perfect place to relax and unwind. Most of the rooms have private balconies with magnificent views and fireplaces for those cosy winter evenings. We offer five air-conditioned conference facilities. Our romantic setting also makes the Houw Hoek Hotel the perfect wedding venue. We also have a wellness spa with a range of massages and treatments, a sauna and a steam room.
Built in 1779, we are the oldest licensed hotel in South Africa. The Houw Hoek Hotel is the winner of TWO Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards – The Best Scenic Environment Hotel in South Africa and The Best Historical Hotel in South Africa. There is so much to do – two refreshing swimming pools, two games rooms and a host of outdoor activities. Join us for drinks or a delicious meal on the terraces with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy 5-star treatment while our outstanding service ensures that you have a magnificent stay.
